FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PATRIARCH AND CHIEF APOSTLE


 A Message from The Patriarch and Chief Apostle Sir Johnson

To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas

Beloved members of The Mystical Order Ministries,

As we gather in this sacred season of Christmas, I extend to you my warmest greetings and heartfelt blessings. This is a time when the world pauses to remember the greatest gift ever given to humanity—the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the midst of festive celebrations, glittering decorations, and joyful gatherings, let us not lose sight of the profound truth that stands at the heart of this season: Christ must be the center of our lives, not just during Christmas, but every day of the year.

The birth of Jesus in that humble manger in Bethlehem was not merely a historical event; it was the divine intervention of God breaking into human history to offer us redemption, hope, and eternal life. When we make Christ the center of our Christmas celebrations, we acknowledge that He is the reason for our joy, the source of our peace, and the foundation of our faith.

In a world increasingly consumed by materialism and distraction, it is easy to be swept away by the commercial aspects of this season. We may find ourselves preoccupied with gifts, parties, and seasonal obligations, forgetting the One whose birthday we celebrate. But as members of The Mystical Order Ministries, we are called to a higher standard—to live intentionally, placing Christ at the very core of our existence.

Making Christ the center of your life this Christmas means prioritizing worship over worldly pursuits. It means spending time in prayer, reflecting on the incarnation, and expressing gratitude for God's immeasurable love. It means extending compassion to those in need, just as Christ came to serve and not to be served. It means forgiving those who have wronged us, showing kindness to strangers, and being vessels of God's light in a darkened world.

This Christmas, I challenge each of you to examine your hearts. Ask yourself: Is Christ truly at the center of my life? Do my actions, words, and priorities reflect His teachings? Are you living in a way that honors the sacrifice He would later make on the cross?

Let us remember that the shepherds abandoned their flocks to worship the newborn King. The wise men traveled great distances, bearing precious gifts, to honor Him. They recognized the significance of His arrival and responded with reverence and devotion. May we follow their example, making whatever sacrifices necessary to keep Christ first in our hearts.

As we celebrate this holy season together, may your homes be filled with divine peace, your hearts overflowing with love, and your spirits renewed by the hope that Christ brings. Let this Christmas be a turning point—a moment when you recommit yourself fully to the Lord, making Him not just a part of your life, but the very center of all you do.

Wishing you a blessed and Christ-centered Christmas.

In His Service, 

The Patriarch and Chief Apostle Sir Johnson

GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

  Visiting the Georgia Guidestones: A Mysterious Roadside Attraction By  Paul Entin   /  3.9.20 Standing alone in a field in the middle of rural Elbert County, Georgia, the Georgia Guidestones monument features six granite slabs with ten commandments. But not  the  Ten Commandments. So what is written on the Georgia Guidestones and what do they say about our global future? Read on. People wonder if the Georgia Guidestones really exist because the message inscribed on the granite monolith seems too horrific to believe. Conspiracy theorists point to its writings and its mysterious origin story as proof of a globalist plot to reduce the world population, eliminate national sovereignty, and replace individual rights with a communist dictatorship, among other plans. The Guidestones consist of four, tall, stone slabs. These slabs surround a central slab and a final slab sits on top of them all as a capstone. Slits in the center slab and capstone direct the sunlig...

THE ETERNAL WALK

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg The journey of faith is not limited to the span of our earthly years—it is a walk that stretches into eternity. For those who belong to the Lord, life is more than a fleeting moment; it is the beginning of an everlasting union with God. Our walk with Him is both present and eternal. From the beginning, God has desired fellowship with man.  “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away”  (Genesis 5:24). Enoch’s life reminds us that walking with God is not bound by earthly limitations but leads to eternal fellowship with Him. Jesus confirms this promise of eternal companionship, declaring:  “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die”  (John 11:25–26). Our walk continues beyond death, for in Christ we have eternal life. Paul describes this journey beautifully:  “For we walk by faith, not by ...

US GREAT MYSTERIES

      One of the US' greatest mysteries     Atop a desolate hill in a small US town are the Georgia Guidestones: an eerie 19ft tall granite monument with a post-apocalyptic message for the world.   By Shannon Dell 3 September 2015 The drone of the man’s oak didgeridoo reverberated off the granite. “Not that I know when Doomsday is,” he said, parting his lips from the mouthpiece and pointing toward the 19ft tall thick, grey stones a few yards from us. “But whenever it hits, this is right where I’d want to be.” I met Anthony, a hitchhiker from North Carolina, at the site of the  Georgia Guidestones , a mysterious six-piece granite monument atop a desolate hill in the small town of Elberton, Georgia. He had stopped at the site on his way to see the  Coral Castle  – another mysterious stone structure – in Homestead, Florida. I had stopped because I’m a sucker for roadside oddities. “It's no wonder this was chosen as the site for the guidestones. ...
